The Andes mountains are essential ecosystems for the development of life on the Latin American continent, fulfilling numerous vital ecosystem functions. However, they face an unprecedented climate crisis, and inaction regarding their protection and management may have irreversible consequences. In this scenario, a crucial challenge for the Andean countries is to look to the future through their mountains. To achieve this goal, the Southern Andes Natural Laboratory is an articulation node based in Chile and composed of researchers, decision-makers, and members of organized civil society that seeks to contribute to the development of public policies for the management of these territories and also to promote scientific knowledge and the training of specialized human capital. This presentation aims to strengthen working links with other centers and research groups and disseminate our work results.
